Question
test: covalent compounds
which electrons are involved in the formation of a chemical bond?
○ s electrons
○ lewis structures
○ valence electrons
○ dipoles
Chemical bonds are formed by the interaction of electrons. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom and are involved in chemical bonding. s - electrons are a type of orbital electrons, but not all s - electrons are necessarily valence electrons. Lewis Structures are a way to represent the bonding in a molecule, not the electrons involved in bonding. Dipoles are related to the separation of charge in a molecule, not the electrons forming the bond.
